I believe I'm related to you down the line but unfortunately my second name got changed when I was young but my mother always said I'm just like my father.

Hello,

Please can you tell me if there is a T. Pilcher, blacksmith, in your family tree? I have a blacksmith-made axe with this name engraved on it.

I collect axes but have no reference to this name.

Thanks and best regards, James Noble

The 1877 Directory lists Richard Pilcher as a blacksmith at Selling.

The name is quite common in Faversham with many of them in the licensed trade – in 1888 Henry Pilcher is shown at the Greyhound, in 1894 Sophia Pilcher was at the Faversham Arms, 62 Ospringe Road, in 1894 Henry was at the Rose at Greenstreet.

Others were Edward at 23 Preston Street in 1888, William, a baker, at 94 West Street in 1888.
